Water Bucket is a utility item in Scrap Mechanic.

Overview

The Water Bucket is a blue plastic bucket that can hold fluids, including Water and Chemicals.

Filled Water Buckets have their handle raised and fluid visible inside them in their inventory icon.

A Water Bucket filled with Chemicals becomes a Chemical Bucket.

Usage

Left-click on a body of Water or a Chemical Spill to fill the bucket. Left-click with a filled bucket to throw the liquid.

Water thrown by the Water Bucket can water crops, put out fires, and stun Haybots briefly.

Hold F and left-click to place the Water Bucket.

If you have multiple Water Buckets in the hotbar, it is possible to quickly fill them by rapidly left-clicking while scrolling through them. This can also be done while scrolling through them while underwater.

Being hit by a water projectile from a Water Cannon or Vacuum Pump while holding an empty Water Bucket will fill it. This does not appear to work with chemical projectiles shot from a Vacuum Pump.

Obtaining

Water Buckets can be found placed down in some locations along shorelines. At least one is always found in the Farming tutorial area near the Crashed Maintenance Ship, as well as in some of the nearby Ruins. They can also be found at Farming Patches.
